Alexander is the favourite...

Agents don't hang about when their 10% or whatever is on the line.

 

It would be a great move for him geographically and financially. The question is are both parties interested. If they are we are in trouble

 

Has to be something in it I’m afraid. He’s been top of the odds all morning and is now 5/2.

 

Blackburn will go for someone out of work like Gary Rowett. Reading between the lines Alexander would be an underwhelming appointment according to the Rovers fans so I can't see it. They would have to pay us compensation as well, a no go for me.

 

Venky's wont pay compo according to my Blackburn supporting Business contact.
He reckons Chris Coleman

 

Really don't see it happening. Under contract (compo) , lower league experience only, not really a name in football compared to others, not even that young either to be able to say he is up and coming, been at this management lark quite a long time now.

 

Leam Richardson for me.
Promoted with Wigan.
Dragging Reading up the table.
Knows Sharpe.

 

Sharpe gave him a new 3 year deal and sacked him 2 weeks later. Reckless.

 

Whilst Blackburn might not be the perfect fit at this moment in time, this is likely to be the tip of the iceberg and he will get mentioned every time the managerial roundabout starts up

 

Where have we heard that before

 

Article from the Lancashire Telegraph which does show why you shouldn't take too much notice of the odds, they have said that Rowett hasn't been approached. They mention Alexander in the article but don't mention either way whether there is anything in it.

Isn't that just the bookies reacting to money bet on him by punters?

 

Is it compulsory ?

 

I could see thick Huddersfield fans placing a £5 on him just to try and wind some up?

 

Do you really think they care that much

 

Been on their Facebook timeline recently? .Yes . Note I don’t subscribe to any feeds but they like mine

 

These betting markets mean nothing. £20 bets will lead to price cuts - peanuts! Bookies don’t take big, meaningful bets on these markets as they are guessing games and they could get filled in from insider info.

 

Can absolutely see this happening, to be fair.

Can also imagine Blackburn not being interested, or GA not wanting to go, or us demanding a big fee.

In other words, its all possible, but if I had to guess I'd say Blackburn will go abroad.

 

No chance Blackburn will get a manager from aboard mate. Rick is too high.

GA will be under serious consideration because if they do do down he knows DIV 1 and will want to go straight back up.

Let’s all be honest GA will be interested in the job if Blackburn do come calling.

 

Well, I believe Jon Dahl Tomasson is their best performing permanent manager in recent years (since Kenny Dalglish in terms of win percentage alone), and he came from abroad. He joined from Malmo, and now manages the Swedish national team.

Valerien Ismael came from Watford, but is still relatively new to the English game.

It might be a case of who knows who, though, and in this case the relevant 'who' at Blackburn is Rudy Gestede. France, maybe?

If they are prepared to look abroad, you can pretty much scrap the bookies list, that's just limited by the imagination of English football fans, people who supposedly think "MARK HUGHES" even though he's at Carlisle in the Conference lol

That "tip" is about as realistic as the Jatta "rumours" - another exercise in the extreme limits of fan imagination.
